Correct spelling, explanation: studying is the correct spelling because y isn’t skipped when we add -ing to a verb. Therefore studing is wrong and the mistake probably comes from the rule, that we omit the vowel e when we add -ing to a verb. y remains though and studying is the correct form.
Definition of studying:
noun, the action of learning

Incorrect spelling, explanation: consonant y isn’t skipped when we add suffix -ing to a verb. This is the reason why studing is an incorrect spelling, and we should spell this form as studying – with y that is ending the base form of the verb.

Studying is the right spelling
Present simple: studies for he, she, it. Past simple: studied. Present continuous: studying. You may drop final e: make- making, but not y.
We change y into i plus ed. Studied in past simple. As for the Continuous tenses you just add – ing to the infinitive: studying.
